Toxic White Elephant Shock

March 17, 18 | 8PM

World premiere

Provocative and interdisciplinary choreographer Alexa Wilson premieres Toxic White Elephant Shock.

Artist statement
Toxic White Elephant Shock is a dance work that satirically layers theatricality with dance, film and sound. This new work looks at how the world around us is suffering under the strain of increasing political, social and environmental pressure. It is experiencing toxic shock. The impact of this shockwave is mirrored in the disturbing physical and mental state of the people. This work aims to map current political and environmental toxicity or pollution into and onto the body.
